Discovering the Need for Tooth Extractions: What You Should Know

Tooth extractions can seem like a daunting prospect, but they are sometimes necessary to maintain optimal oral health. At Redford Dental Care, our skilled dental team works diligently to preserve your natural smile whenever possible. However, in some cases, removing a tooth or teeth is the only way to protect your overall well-being and restore your oral health. Thanks to advances in care, dentists can now perform extractions with greater precision and comfort than ever before. Additionally, modern tooth replacement options closely mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.

Your comfort is our top priority at Redford Dental Care. Our state-of-the-art practice utilizes cutting-edge technology and treatment methods to ensure every visit to our office is stress-free. When you come to us for extractions, you can expect personalized, compassionate care from our highly trained dentist and professional team. We strive to deliver precise, gentle care that minimizes any anxiety or discomfort you may feel during the procedure.

There are several reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary. These include:

• A severely damaged tooth due to injury, decay, or bone loss that is deemed non-restorable
• An impacted or poorly positioned wisdom tooth that could cause infection, cysts, oral pain, or problems affecting the adjacent teeth
• An ankylosed primary tooth (fused to the underlying bone) or an over-retained tooth that is reluctant to fall out on its own
• Dental crowding in children, teens, or adults, which may require extractions to facilitate orthodontic alignment

Before recommending a tooth extraction, our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination, using advanced digital radiography as needed, to determine the most effective and conservative approach to treatment. We prioritize patient comfort and understanding throughout the procedure, keeping you informed and relaxed every step of the way. If a tooth needs to be replaced after extraction, we'll discuss the best options for rebuilding your complete, beautiful smile. These may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants, which are the most advanced treatment method available today and come closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of a natural smile.
